  1. point proven on Stopping the FUD · · Score: 0

    AT LEAST 1/2 of the posts in this thread prove out the knead for recognition of the deceptive rhetoricystic practices employed by the kingdumb of FUD. what to do about I.T. is a hole nether kwesteeon.

    It would seam that j. public is at least somewhat awear of the situation, and it would also seam that he/she IS very open to alternatives available to the MS decade of deceit marketeering plan.

    1 of the problems is that FUDbillygates has built an udderly incredible cash cow with the windose meganopoly. his ONLY means to protect it are: MS BS PR FUD, and sum bogus contracts (institutions, OEMs) established through the use of bribery, coercion, and FUD. it's (FUD) kNoT working like it used to, butt it still has life.

    sew, I.T.s likely going to take a similarly monumental effort to get the truth about I.T. owt to the masses. appears that effort is well underway, but subject to the same pollutants that made FUDley whatever he is today. a real dali llama. i guess evolution is still happening. my impressions are that open-source is going to knead some very impressive open/honest "marketing" in order to save the universe from a future of pure FUD, and that love eminates from the home desktop.

  2. reaction on Bruce Perens Discusses Lawsuit Against Corel (UPDATED) · · Score: 1

    I can understand Mr. Perens' reaction, as I have suffered the same in regard to feeling the need to protect a concept.

    One defense is that we are so innundated with corpirate BS, that we can be left suspicious of every action by any1 that is connected to megaslothism.

    It is clear that Mr. Perens has worked VERY hard (understatement) to promote/protect the concepts of o-s. He should be able to feel proud of his efforts, and not be judged per incident. same goes for Mr. Stallman, & Mr. Raymond. Obviously, peoples' emotions/personalities, are exposed in their efforts to work towards goals. look at FUDbilLIEgates.

    Experience that evokes my empathy:

    Last year, sensing the rise in (commercial) popularity of linux/o-s/gnu, and the corresponding onslaught of MS BS PR trashing, of the concepts/community, I felt inspired to do some protectionary things.

    I registered a whole bunch of linux/o-s related .coms/nets/orgs, with the main goal of keeping deceptive megasloth greedmongers from getting them. I then offered their use, for advertising/information to any/all in the community for free. I figured that I would at least break even on the expenses (enormous, and growing), and serve to promote the concepts that offer an alternative to megasloth greedmonger control of all that is PC.

    Well, the results were/are less than stunning. However, i have managed to retain control of a whole bunch of urls, and HAVE NOT succumbed to the sizable offers of fortune from the deceptive marketeer community.

    Anyway, the moral to the story, to me, is: all form of GOOD intention can be misconstrued, when negative judgement is applied, based on suspicious reaction due to preconceived notions, that are inaccurate.

    doesn't mean I'm going to start trusting in the kingdumb of fud.

    We haven't changed a bit in what we are attempting to accomplish, which is promotion of the concepts of gnu/linux/o-s. any positive input is appreciated. we've already heard ALL the reasons why knot.

  3. medical inf. sys. on Introducing Open Source to the Doctors · · Score: 1

    I too worked for a decade developing database information systems for hospitals, clinics, etc...

    What a quagmirish mess. In a typical larger facility, there would be dozens of seperate unconnected databases per patient. healthcare's recent answer to this, has been the development of data repositories (connecting the disparage of inf.), followed by efforts to merge reports from the relevant inf..

    In my estimation, the medical/healthcare system would be served by coming to a standard interview format/health status screening, for this to happen, the medical/healthcare profession would need to approach the o-s community with the intention of same.

    The result could be, a uniform patient assessment across an almost insolvent industry. part of the reason for the near insolvency, is the inability of the players to be able to agree on ANYTHING (therefore, scattering their info$ to the WINd), even though they ALL strive to obtain the same information.

    The next part, that is also a shambles, is the notion of providing patients with a minimum amount of privacy concerning their medical records. recently, uncle s(h)am, at the behest of mr/ms megasloth, granted "business" a pretty much free access pass to the medical records of almost anybody who does "business" with a bank. can marketeers of everything else be far behind?

    Since the net became a thing, I have found patient databases sitting on ftp sites, which speaks to the lax attitude of practitioners, as well as the lack of knowledge of webmasters re: the importance of keeping such records private.

    We would be interested in discussion re: this situation with any/all interested, as it does not get any attention, in comparison to the gravity of the situation.

    If a useable solution to the mess were to be developed, it would by it's very nature, be open-source.

  4. browser brick wall on Has AOL Ruined Netscape? · · Score: 0

    I must be missing some things. FUDbillygates is willing to become so tactical as to risk the possibility of ending up sharing a cell with john gotti, to widose the browser "market". but no 1 in the o-s community can whip together a gui browser to meet/debunk the onslaught of FUDulistic invasionofprivacy virusfriendly blight that IEaaaggghhh is?

    seems important enough to me. does look like noescape is dropping the ball, through little fault of theirs, i'd say. maybe it's kNoT important, even though it seams that the gui based www is expecting to run most, if not all their apps, in a browser. is it that difficult?

    i have no problem with lairy & bob being billionaires, they work hard.

    problem is, what about the several million folks who are responsible for the vehicle they used to be vaulted to their high station?

    me, i'm just a fool, whose tired as hell of seeing a handful of megasloths, or any minority, profiting excessively from the efforts of the majority.

    i'm also tired of beggin y'all to look past the BS, and get with the program.

    by now, there SHOULD be 100's of linux/opensource .coms/orgs up to let the WORLD know what the penguin can do for business, with free? ads from at least 10,000 of y'all.

    instead, there's 5-10, that are news, and 5-20 that offer pretty much proprietary products for sale.

    we (that's me) STILL have around 100 o-s/linux related .coms/orgs intended (from the start) for use by the o-s/linux community (no bosses) to spread the message, and draw in the functional PC starved public.

    there are some really cool commercial names in the lot, and some were gotten solely with the intent of promoting community. anyway, they are pretty much unused, other than a penguin picture, and/or ads for stuff we do that doesn't need to be there.

    i was led to think that some of y'all's "leaders" were going to help me with disposition. butt it looks like their agendas DO NOT include empowering majorities.

    my motives are about seeing that there's more than a few powers near the top. should be more like 1000's. perhaps arranged geographically. some of us have already lived through 1 dictatorship, NEVER again.

    if you wait for commerce to trickle down to y'all from bob & lairy, your potential for world domination (in the most generous sense) will evaporate. don't you think pudbillygates is also going to cash in on/co-opt the penguin? gawd, geezeus, y'all seem so anti-inertial.

    if you have interest, please contact us, harryjo@imcnet.net. as i've said before, and probably will keep trying to say, we want to help, we need YOUR help.

    sorry for any excessive emotional attachment. i'm sick & tired of seeing joe public, or joe penguin, or any joe, getting the sh*t end of the stick.

    if the .com is already paid for, it can be used for any good idea, if it isn't paid for yet, cough up a few bucks and become a co-conspirator. i say, flood the net with honest to business penguin/o-s power. we've had the opportunity to sell some to megasloths, but have been able to avoid having to do so. we registered them with the intention of preventing megsloth greedmongers (you know who they are) from getting them. and maybe for collecting some advertising income. many of them are not paid for yet, but we are working to pay for all. if we weren't shoestringing, they'd be free4all forever. save the penguin from being cornered, and get work for yourself. i'm sure y'all have some great ideas, i know i do. can't do it without you.

    pudbillygates is the john gotti of the digital era. so what? his own MSBS PR/marketing depts. seem to be doing a bang up job of diminishing his influence.

    what should be even more alarming to y'all, is the megasloth attempts to monotize the penguin. again, i have no problem with folks making money, but for a handful (chosen by who?), to profit excessively (with a capitalistic E), is way too much like the same old shit.

    read (past tense) a couple quotes from VAlairy Allgutsteen this week. he says, and i quote: "who needs .coms, when you've got linux?" can't say he's all wrong there, but try to follow the thread.

    next, he says: "there's only room enough in the market for 4-5 major linux distributions."

    this is where y'all can torch me some more, butt i think this type of HYPEnosis is Krap. whois gonna be major? i'm guessing lairy is right up there. that only leaves room for who few?

    sounds way too close to the flippers turning into claws syndrome to me. at least don't try to tell me it never happens. i KNOW better.

    y'all need to pay close attention. makes what Mr. Stallman says, sound like A LOT of sense, again.

    as i've stated before, we have A LOT of o-s/linux related web resources, and we're thinking there ought to be MANY major FREE distributions and/or, cheap PC sites.

    letting the penguin be cornered, could prove disasterous to the majority, in the long haul. not to mention the potential for scandalizing the penguin's thus far high integrity rating. i'm guessing the penguin's got some long coattails, unless they're cropped by "business" interests.
